Description

Nicole Denise Designs is an up-and-coming design company in West Orange, N.J. run by artist Nicole Denise. After working in the music industry for four (4) years in New York, she started her own business by mass producing and importing her first product “The Poster Box!™” in 2009 and launched it at the New York International Gift Fair. It is a collection of 16 colorful posters printed from her hand-drawn art, seen at www.NicoleDeniseDesigns.com . Many more products are in the works.

Internship is offered year-round: Jan-term, Spring, Summer, and Fall.

Intern will learn how to enthusiastically promote and market a product to the retail industry. Intern will learn about running a business as an artist (but the principles apply to any business- not just art) and how various industries operate. Intern is encouraged to ask questions, contribute ideas, and learn from this experience.

We are seeking a student(s) interested in business, regardless of your interest in art. If you like art, that's good too, but please note the experience is business and marketing-related and not artistic in nature. This is a unique opportunity to learn how business and art work together!

Intern's marketing creativity is encouraged and we are open to your ideas.

The work can be done off-site (your dorm, house, etc.,) during business hours as long as you are in a relatively quiet environment with no significant background noise (i.e. no dogs barking, no TV or loud voices in the background etc.).
